This is your problem.  Default arguments are only created once, so the
default seen argument is the same physical object shared by all
invocations of that method.  That isn't what you want, as it will
accumulate changes.

Instead use the idiom:

	def f(dictArg=None):
	    if dictArg is None:
	        dictArg = {} # create a new one each time
	    ...
